BAH!

These aren't terrorists. Well, not the kind that blow US up, they are mainly focused on the current Iranian regime. And while I find the Islamic-Marxist bent of the group frightful, I can't quite muster any animosity to a group trying to bring down the Iranian theocracy.

This sounds like a little internecine fighting between socialists.

I’m not even sure we have a dog in this fight.

The francies are hopelessly trying to make themselves look good in their own war on their version of terror.

This is completely unacceptable. Did they notify the UN of their intentions? Couldn't they have observed them for 12 years or so to ensure they presented a threat? I cannot believe the French acted unilaterally!!!!

Actually they did blow up Americans, that's how they became listed as terrorists by the US.

They never promised to find WMD. And I'm willing to bet they didn't kill 5,000 to 10,000 civilians in the process of this raid.

I don't understand people who blindly hate the French. Is a true friend a yes man?

Remember we wouldn't even be a country without the French. We'd all be sipping tea right now.
